The Frankton Eagles will challenge the Tipton Blue Devils at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Frankton took a loss when they played away from home on Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday. They blew past Muncie Burris 77-32. The Eagles pushed the score to 63-20 by the end of the third, a deficit the Owls had no chance of recovering from.
Brady Carmack and Joey Wright were among the main playmakers for Frankton as the former went 10 for 14 en route to 23 points plus eight rebounds and four steals and the latter almost dropped a double-double on 15 points and nine assists. The dominant performance also gave Carmack a new career-high in field goal percentage (71%). Ethan Stansberry was another key player, scoring ten points along with five assists and two steals.
Meanwhile, Tipton made easy work of Tri-Central last Tuesday and carried off a 64-40 win.
Grady Carpenter went supernova for Tipton, going 11 for 27 en route to 28 points plus eight assists and seven rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Peyton Auler, who posted ten points plus three steals.
Things could have been worse for Frankton, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 54-40 loss to Tipton when the teams last played back in December of 2023. Thankfully for Frankton, Nolan Swan (who went 9 for 19 en route to 23 points plus six steals and five rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
